"Permanently deleted" means "you can't get them back".

RE: “As some third-party software claims, those deleted photos can be retrieved again, anyone knows this is true.”

I would be skeptical of these claims, because of the extreme degree of sandboxing iOS imposes on apps

running on a non-jailbroken iPhone. Also because the way that free space is often managed on flash / SSD devices.

If a photo or video is deleted and that files is then PERMANENTLY deleted, how are law enforcement agencies able to recover them?

They aren't able to recover them. That's what we keep explaining. Don't believe everything you see on television.

What about unallocated space on the iPhone?? Is it truly deleted forever on an iPhone?

See MrHoffman's very comprehensive answer here:

Tap Photos

Tap Albums

Tap Recently Deleted

If the photo is still there, you can restore it.

If the photo is not there, it cannot be restored.

The thing about permanent is it is PERMANENT. Unless you saved the video somewhere else before you permanently deleted it, there's nowhere to get it back from.

They are gone.

Are you Belle2018pablo with a new username?

Bummer.

If you didn’t have them stored somewhere else and they are not in the recently deleted folder, they are gone. There is no getting them back.

This reply is to pretty much everyone. I’m not 100% sure how Apple deals with their issues but I do know that there were pictures of mine come up missing that I could find nowhere even in the deleted file on my Google app and I got a hold of the Google One team and they did recover a great deal of them more actually that I thought I had missed , so there is obviously a way to do it if you can speak with the right person in that department with Apple

False. Google was able to recover data you had stored in Google’s cloud service. That has absolutely nothing to do with Apple.

when they no longer are in recently deleted then they are nowhere on the device anymoer

They vanish in the wind, for all practical purposes.
